General Hospital Spoilers: Drew reveals evidence that Monica sʜᴏᴛ him before she ᴅɪᴇᴅ
Port Charles has endured its fair share of heartbreak, but nothing could have prepared the community for the shocking truth revealed in the wake of Monica Quartermaine’s death. Long regarded as the moral compass of General Hospital,
Monica passed peacefully in her sleep, and her funeral was expected to be a somber celebration of a life defined by compassion and healing. Instead, it became the stage for a revelation that would forever change how she—and her legacy—are remembered.
Drew Cain, still recovering from being shot twice in early September, had been determined to uncover the identity of his assailant. His list of suspects was long: betrayed allies, political enemies, and even estranged lovers. But when his private investigator unearthed new evidence, the truth hit far closer to home.
Traffic-cam footage placed Monica at Drew’s home the very night he was ambushed. Additional documents revealed she had been researching wound patterns and consulting specialists, suggesting she intended to wound him as a warning rather than kill him outright.
For Monica, Drew’s corruption and ruthless blackmail schemes had crossed a line she could no longer ignore.
He had threatened families, manipulated medical records, and leveraged power in ways that violated everything she stood for as a healer. The woman who had dedicated her life to saving others may have felt compelled to stop him herself, even if it meant stepping into darkness.
Her secret exploded into the open during her funeral service on September 25. With Port Charles gathered in the chapel to honor Monica, Drew arrived uninvited, leaning on a cane but armed with damning evidence.
As Tracy Quartermaine finished her eulogy and mourners prepared for their final goodbyes, Drew stood and declared, “Before you canonize this woman, you need to know the truth.”
Gasps filled the chapel as he produced photographs and Monica’s private journals, laying bare his accusations that she had pulled the trigger that night.
The Quartermaines were stunned. Tracy ordered him out, Ned refused to believe it, and Brooklyn broke down in tears. Yet Jason Morgan, ever the realist, studied the evidence in silence, his expression one of conflicted understanding.
To make matters worse, Drew dropped another bombshell: Monica had only fired once. The second shot—the one that nearly killed him—had come from someone else. Suddenly, a mystery second shooter was at large, and suspicion rippled through the stunned crowd.
The fallout was immediate. Police on the scene reopened the investigation, delaying Monica’s burial and securing her belongings for forensic review.
Port Charles divided swiftly: some refused to accept that Monica was capable of violence, while others admitted her alleged actions might have been a desperate attempt to stop Drew’s reign of terror.
Drew’s decision to air the truth at the funeral left him even more isolated. Though he succeeded in tarnishing Monica’s saintly reputation, he alienated his family and community in the process.
Yet the questions linger. Was Monica truly Drew’s attacker—or was she another casualty in a web of secrets and lies? And who fired the second, nearly fatal shot?
One thing is certain: Monica Quartermaine’s death will not be remembered as a peaceful farewell, but as the moment Port Charles was forced to confront the chilling possibility that even its most revered figures can be driven to desperate extremes.
